Agentic AI: The Autonomous Supply Chain RevolutionThis book offers a clear, practical guide to how agentic AI is enabling supply chains to move from reactive planning to autonomous, goal-driven operations.It explains the shift from generative AI to agentic systems built on perception, reasoning, memory, action, and reflection, supported by multi-agent orchestration. Core chapters cover real-world applications in demand sensing, inventory self-balancing, production scheduling, logistics routing, intelligent procurement, risk mitigation, and sustainability initiatives.Drawing on 2025–2026 deployments across retail, manufacturing, and logistics (including examples from Walmart, Amazon, Cainiao, Reliance, Lenovo, Fujitsu, and DP World), the book shows measurable improvements in inventory efficiency, service levels, cost control, and emissions reduction. It also provides a step-by-step implementation roadmap, governance frameworks, and a grounded outlook toward 2030.Written with a global perspective — including practical insights for emerging markets — the book equips supply chain professionals and leaders with actionable knowledge to build more resilient, efficient operations while keeping human strategy at the center.A straightforward and useful resource for anyone responsible for modern supply chain performance.
